when bill clinton gave his talk at the democratic national convention he was incredibly shrewd because he did not talk about medicare. why did he not talk about medicare? medicare is not the real difference in terms of numbers between these two campaigns. it really is medicaid. when you look at medicaid and who benefits from medicaid, it is a lot of white, working-class folks, as well as underrepresented minority backgrounds. when you think about how republicans need to talk about it, i think that is that funny thing about ryan and ryanism. he has in some respects gotten it right in talking about how you want to talk about how we actually care about the safety net. it matters a lot to us and a free enterprise society, and a dynamic society we need to have this. it is not a side thing that we put a garnish on the salad, but it is an incredibly important part of making the system work. the problem is that -- ryan, the reason he excites activists is for other reasons. the way in which he sometimes uses a very apocalyptic language about the threats to free enterprise. i think that is one r

their bill clinton and the republican party? i thought marco rubio did a pretty good job. but here, bill clinton disaggregated some complicated issues, simplified them, delivered them into the living room of every voter and had an intelligent conversation. that is what voters want. they want a sincere, intelligent conversation. no bs, no fluff, no hyperbole. just give me the scoop and tell me where you think you can take us. and that is where i think there is an opportunity still in the weeks remaining. and i believe that governor romney has that capacity to deliver that kind of level of sincerity and direction. >> i want to quickly address that. the republicans had a candidate doing that in the primary. unfortunately candidate was addressing the general primary electorate. that's different. but if you look at the ad for governor romney's problems, think it goes back to numbers. the first was brought up today at 50.1% in the sense that he's trying to do what is necessary to get elected. so there is some of that lack of sincerity

bush or ronald reagan or bill clinton? do they approached these debates differently or do the american people view it differently when you have a sitting president? >> i think so, yes. one of the things that happens is the incumbent is at somewhat of a disadvantage being placed on an equal footing as the challenger, as we talked about before. incumbents have typically had a very rough time in the first debate. i am thinking back to jimmy carter in 1980. ronald reagan in 1984. george h. w. bush in '92. all of these guys who had been in the presidency, they got on that debate stage and came face- to-face with the challenger. it is rattling. they all had a very difficult time getting through the first debate. in each case, they had to up their game as the series went forward. >> you say, "the morning after the debate, will the media the talking about knockout punches? who knows? a little boldness might make good politics." what do you mean? >> i mean this idea of not approaching this debate as an awful obstacle you have to ge
